Rhode Island Park Project

"Uh,"

He picked up the water cup awkwardly, "Do you really have to run over here?"

Kal'tsit walked into the house, slammed the door shut, and then strode towards him with an emotionless face.

“You can look at our financial report.”

"I've already seen it..."

Kal'tsit opened the light curtain, turned around and pressed it in front of him, pointing to the last line:

"The initial profit from the virtual cabin and virtual eyepiece is 17.68 billion gold pounds, and the starting bracelet is 6.59 million gold pounds per month. The remaining Rhodes Island output value and medical and pharmaceutical resources have been basically invested in the development and construction of Rhodes Island and the construction of the armored forces. Although your Academy City has attracted a lot of investment, it still requires our continued investment."

Kal'tsit stared at him with cold eyes.

"Tell me, even if we have to pay back the 200 billion that Shi Huaiya borrowed from us first, how long will it take?"

"..."

He took a sip of water with a wandering look in his eyes, and swallowed it down with a gulp. "So, that's why I just asked you..."

"If you ask me, it's to rob."

Kelsey said with a cold face, it looked scary

However, as a team known as the "Army of Justice", he had to be cautious even about getting a piece of land after defeating Kaister, let alone directly robbing it.

Looking at Luo Hang's appearance, Kal'tsit also relaxed her expression a little.

"I know you're considering the Sarkaz issue. Given our current financial situation, a period of development will be enough to offset the economic losses we need. In the short term, we can consider using a small plot of land and some undeveloped land in Academy City as an emergency measure."

This is a contingency plan that foreseeably causes a lot of trouble.

After all, they have already announced the blueprint of Academy City to the outside world. Now suddenly using the land in the blueprint to accommodate Sarkaz will undoubtedly attract ridicule and public attacks from some people, and will also cause concerns about the subsequent cooperation of others and the choice of students.

On top of that, people who had already experienced a war needed stability in order to be appeased. Putting a group of people in Academy City first and then asking them to move away would definitely lead to complaints.

Luo Hang frowned and tapped the water glass in his hand with his fingertips.

In fact, what Kal'tsit said was correct. Rhodes Island's current development trend is very good, especially after the Territory of Caster was brought under their jurisdiction. Many industries of Rhodes Island have been involved in the Territory of Caster. As long as they are given a certain amount of time, they can reap huge profits.

But the problem is-

Tracy obviously wouldn't wait for them.

As for his allies, he still hadn't repaid Old Adams the 200 billion. The Duke of Windermere had just agreed to build an outsourced factory for him, and to provide him with teachers and students. It was difficult for him to go looking for them now. If there was anything else...

Luo Hang's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call..."

Under Kal'tsit's puzzled gaze, he cut through the light curtain and dialed a number.

Kal'tsit, who was standing next to Luo Hang, only vaguely heard a sweet "honey" and Luo Hang's promise of "Okay, okay, okay", and then after a while.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Hang looked at her and shrugged.

"It's done!"

"—?"

"If we win the battle against the Sarkaz, Wellington will assist in providing a plot of land as a place to house war criminals, which will be under our jurisdiction."

"——??"

"what happened?"

He looked at Kal'tsit, who had a strange expression on her face, and tilted his head in a strange way. "Is it weird that I asked a woman for money?"

"..."

Kelsey was silent for a moment.

There seems to be no insurmountable gap between a scumbag and a gigolo.

"nothing."

She closed her financial report expressionlessly and said, "If you have time, please raise more funds for us."

This time it was his turn to “——?”

"Can you give me the nutrients I lack?"

"Haha, I can arrange a party for you with more than 10 people."

he:"--??"

Is this to nourish me or to drain me dry?

Kal'tsit turned and walked towards the door, still unable to help sighing.

Who could have imagined that this time it would really be the pretty boy who saved the world?

The production of Qihang bracelets has now grown to 100 million units per month. Based on the standard version's selling price of 1.5 Longmen coins, that's 150 billion Longmen coins per month, but this is only the total sales.

Because they don't have to consider R&D costs, their profit margins are already quite high. However, after excluding materials, production, labor, transportation, sales, and local tax issues that need to be particularly considered in international trade, the final profit margin has dropped to nearly 40%.

In other words, the final real profit is actually about 60 billion Longmen coins, which is equivalent to 6.59 million gold pounds per month.

To pay off 200 billion, we need...

Well, let’s not consider this for now. After all, their production will continue to grow.

Then there is the more recent virtual eyepiece.

With the above data, we can probably understand why Kal'tsit would consider a short-term plan to recover funds.

The virtual eyepiece currently has an initial release of 50 units, with a unit price of 4999 gold pounds. The profit margin is similar to that of the Qihang bracelet, and the final profit is... 10 billion gold pounds.

20 virtual cabins were delivered to experience stores across the country, and the price with partners was 1.5 gold pounds. In exchange for a 20% discount, the partners provided local stores and all marketing costs, and Rhodes Island collected a 30% share of the ticket price.

This cooperation plan is actually very unreasonable. After all, it means that the experience store not only has to spend its own money to buy the virtual cabin and open its own store, but also has to give Rhodes Island a share of the profits.

However, due to the extremely good response to the opening of Rhodes Island's first experience store, ticket prices are one thing, and the advertising fees of various manufacturers account for an extremely exaggerated proportion of the revenue. Coupled with the craze of the entire virtual world, many people still come to them to discuss cooperation.

In this regard, the profit margin of the virtual cabin is actually lower, only 32%, because it has a thinking acceleration module installed, but it is not turned on at this stage, so the price is too high to be accepted.

So the final profit is... 7.68 million pounds.

In terms of ticket prices, the first store currently has 200 virtual cabins, which are open 24 hours a day. The ticket price is 25 gold pounds, equivalent to 227 Longmen coins.

Although the actual experience time in the virtual cabin is only one hour, as it is an actual large-scale expo, the ticket price also includes a lot of other sightseeing values.

The final daily ticket revenue was 12 pounds, which is 360 million pounds a month.

Of course, as their own store, they have to consider the cost issue, but other experience stores directly charge 30% of the total ticket price.

However, since this part still needs time to be transported and constructed, it cannot provide much income for the time being. But if it can be counted 24 hours a day for a month, the estimated income can reach 10.8 billion pounds!

However, this is only the most ideal situation. After all, it is okay for their flagship store here, but it may be difficult to count all places as full 24 hours a day, so it is better not to calculate this part for the time being.

The reason he brought this up was just to illustrate the wisdom of his experience store plan.

Finally, Rhodes Island's own GDP also showed a certain decline after the blockade of Shi Huaiya was lifted, but due to its own rapid development, it still showed an overall upward trend, just a slight sluggishness for a while.

Combined with the original medical and pharmaceutical fields, it can basically offset Rhodes Island's daily development and construction costs and their expenses on armored force construction.

So the final data is... 6.59 million/month + 17.68 billion pounds.

Chapter 517: Miss Quetzalcoatl Goes to Osaka

The agreement between Abbrana and him was actually very simple.

Since it is not suitable for a family to fight to the death, and everyone has a common enemy, they might as well compete in a way that they share a common enemy.

Whoever first breaks into the Sarkaz's base in Londinium, the western hall of the Holy King Society, will be the winner.

If he won, his business would be the family business, and Abbrana would be happy to contribute her strength as his good wife, or be whipped into obedience by him, it didn't matter.

If he loses, everything will be different.

And then there's...

He currently needs an original shirt of his own to go along with the virtual cabin... just like when he asked for someone else's underwear, he had to take it off on the spot.

……

He waited until Kal'tsit left before silently taking off his clothes, selecting a noble-style gift box from the well-stocked gift box, packing it, and having it sent to the embassy urgently.

As for himself, there was never a shortage of clothes in his office.

In a sense, he and Abbrana really aren't from the same family, and they don't belong together...

Anyway, a big and troublesome problem has been solved, and then... it's the next thing.

After all, it's still early for lunch, so he certainly can't just sit here and do nothing.

This question is about the development of nano-enhancement in spells.

It is not difficult to see that up to now, whether it is their armored knights or nano-enhancement, the application of originium and spells is actually not too much, and almost all of them come from the pre-civilization technology he unlocked.

At this stage, when they encounter some enemies who are of low level in Terra, they can still rely on their solid basic stats to deal with the enemy, but once the opponent becomes advanced in the level of spells, the situation will become more troublesome.

This had actually been demonstrated in their previous battle with the Blood Demon Lord.

Although they did have a very obvious advantage on the scene, the only one who could actually cause substantial damage to the Blood Demon Lord was the Duke of Windermere, who was enchanted by him. The main function of his personal guards throughout the whole process was to contain the enemy.

Even in the end, when they won, it was not by completely killing the Blood Demon Lord on their own, but by sending him and the Originium explosion into the subspace, and it was impossible to determine whether he was alive or dead.

It's acceptable for once, but if it happens every time in the future, will he have to keep opening holes in the subspace?

After all, Originium is the result of another path of the previous civilization. Expecting to rely on nano-enhancement, which is already part of the previous civilization's technology tree, to deal with it is not a reasonable choice.

The main reason he needed nano-enhancement was not only to speed up his thinking, but also because his enemies at this stage had not encountered anything too exaggerated in the field of Originium.

But he was also not happy to have his personal guards only help him through the initial stages.

The best option is of course to combine nano-enhancement and Originium, but this is a completely new technology tree that not only requires their own research, but also requires someone to research it. In fact, his personal guards do not have any research in the field of Originium technology... Wait a minute.

Luo Hang, who had been sitting behind his desk with his cheek in his hand and thinking for a while, suddenly raised his eyebrows.

It seems that there are candidates. Although they are not his personal guards, they have extensive research experience in the field of Originium technology and have also undergone nano-enhancement.

He opened the light curtain and sent a message to someone who had almost disappeared for a long time... one of his pets.

Dr. Luo: Come to my office.

Holhaiya: Oh, have you decided to favor me, my master~?

Dr. Luo: I'll give you half an hour, otherwise I'm not sure what options I'll encounter.

Hol Haiya: You are such a strict master. However, I will come as soon as possible... I also miss the smell of you, hehe.

He calmly turned off the light curtain.

Don't believe a word this feathered serpent says.

Judging from Holhaiya's position, she spent almost the entire time in the library and database in Rhodes Island during this period, completely absorbed in her research.

He also knew about the research direction, which was the technological version of the Quetzalcoatl.

Holhaiya seemed to have determined that the feathered serpents of ancient times were outdated in modern times, so she planned to create a body that surpassed the ancient feathered serpents, while obtaining the ancient, noble, and clear essence of the feathered serpents.

At this point, you should be able to feel that Holhaiya's research is actually highly similar to his purpose to a large extent. Moreover, in the research of Originium skills, Holhaiya was not only forcibly instilled with the instinct of pursuit since childhood, but also had hundreds of years of inheritance from the Quetzalcoatl clan.

What is even more commendable is that as a modern man, Holhaiya is also quite knowledgeable in the field of electronics. Otherwise, he would not be able to easily tamper with the information and file content of modern technology by relying solely on the Source Stone technique of transmitting information.

You know what, this time Miss Quetzalcoatl might get a big score.

He made a pot of coffee in the office with great anticipation, and took a look at his prop box. Um, let's skip this for now.

He sat down in his chair and happily poured a cup of fragrant coffee. The office door was pushed open with a click.

He subconsciously glanced at the time.

Only 20 minutes had passed.

But when he raised his head, with a bright smile on his face, he was still wearing the elegant and simple windbreaker, but the external box was much simpler and the pipelines had disappeared. Hol Haiya had indeed appeared at the door.

"You're making me wonder if you came here on time."

Luo Hang put down the coffee pot in his hand with a smile, "Would you like to try Colombian Xishan Jinfu coffee?"
